How to convert Julian format date to regular date format

Hi,
I'm trying to convert Julian date(e.g. 2455657) passed to regular date format(e.g. 2011/4/6), but the Julian date is shown without conversion.
I set the following code, and changed the format to "Date" with "yyyy/M/d" format, but "2455657" is displayed, not "2011/4/6".
<?xdofx:to_date(HIRE_DATE_J,'J')?>
I also set the following with "Text" format field, but it still shows "2455657".
<?xdofx:to_char(to_date(HIRE_DATE_J,'J'),'YYYY/MM/DD')?>
How can I convert Julian format to regular date format?
Thanks in advance

Take a look at the following post: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/08/more_date_calculations.html
and look at the comments section. Based on the comments, it appears that you can not convert from Julian format and you would have to do this in your query.

How to convert JAVA.SQL.DATE date in YYYY/MM/DD format into DD/MM/YYYY

i am using informix database which accepts date value in the form of DATE format......
the other part of my application takes date from the field in DD/MM/YYYY format...so i have to convert my java.sql.date in YYYY/MM/DD fromat into DD/MM/YYYY fromat of same type before inserting into db......
but using parse method in SimpleDateFormat class can get the result only in java.util.date format...
and also using format method can result only in string conversion........

Maybe you mean Informix (fronted by JDBC) expects date values as java.sql.Date objects?
the other part of my application takes date from the field in DD/MM/YYYY format...
so i have to convert my java.sql.date in YYYY/MM/DD format into DD/MM/YYYY format of same type before inserting into db......I am not sure why you are talking about formats here.
There is no formatting inherent in a java.util.Date object
nor in a java.sql.Date object.
but using parse method in SimpleDateFormat class can get the result only in java.util.date format...
and also using format method can result only in string conversion........You can easily create a java.sql.Date object from a java.util.Date object.
String s = "31/12/2010";
java.util.Date ud = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").parse(s);
java.sql.Date sd = new java.sql.Date(ud.getTime());
ud = sd; // java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date so no conversion is needed

Converting from milliseconds to a date format in java

This so that, that date can be inserted into a date column in mysql
What I have is something like 1119193190
I do:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd,yyyy HH:mm");
Date resultdate = new Date(yourmilliseconds);
System.out.println(sdf.format(resultdate));
and Java gives me something like:
Jul 04,2004 14:06
But Java then when inserting into a mysql table is all like um....no:
com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Incorrect date value: 'Jul 04,2004 14:06' for column 'prodDate' at row 1
proDate is of type date in mysql.

               }Are you saying something like
java.sql.Date date = new java.sql.Date(Something , what I have no idea, Should go here);
instead of
SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd,yyyy HH:mm");
and then carry on as normal?
If so, what should go in those brackets based on the code?
java.sql.Date date = new java.sql.Date("MMM dd,yyyy HH:mm");
This is all being read in from a text file and converted over before being spit out to the data base, it all works except for the date...

Convert java.util.Timestamp to a formatted java.util.date

Hi,
I am trying to convert a java.util.TimeStamp date from the DB to a formatted date object. So, how can I convert this TimeStamp into an hourly or daily format that will return me a java.util.Date object? I was trying to convert the TimeStamp using SimpleDateFormat and then parse out to a Date object, but this isn't working. This is what I need
TimeStamp converted to an "Hourly" date object --> 12:00pm
TimeStamp converted to a "Monthly" date object --> May

Hi,
I am trying to convert a java.util.TimeStamp date
from the DB to a formatted date object. I don't know what a "formatted date object" is. Do you mean a String?
So, how can
I convert this TimeStamp into an hourly or daily
format that will return me a java.util.Date object?I don't know what you mean when you say "...int an hourly or daily format that will return me a java.util.Date object". A format is a String, are you wanting to parse that into a java.util.Date object?

A java.sql.Timestamp extends java.util.Date. So if you've a Timestamp, then you can use it as you would a java.util.Date. If you want a String, then as you say use SimpleDateFormat with the appropriate format string.

Converting the DATE(yyyymmdd) into MONTH(yyyymm) format

HAI
I have one date InfoObject(ZDATE) in the format of YYYYMMDD format.
My client wants another 'Month InfoObject(ZMONTH) in the format of YYYYMM . This ZMONTH infoobject should be derived from ZDATE.
So please tell me how can i convert the ZDATE data into ZMONTH format.
I think , it is possible by writing the ABAP code.
Please give the ABAP CODE for converting the ZDATE data into ZMONTH format also .
i wll assing the points
bye
rizwan

Hi Rizwan,
You can use offset like:
zmonth = zdate+0(6)
Zmonth is variable in which yyyymm is going to be stored
and zdate is variable in which yyyymmdd is stored.
I think this will slove your issue.
Thanks=points

Convert system date into mm-dd-yyyy format

Hi everyone, I am developing an web application in jsp.In my application when a client enters his information like name,email etc, they are copied into the database.What i need now is at the same time the system date also has to enter into the database in the format mm-dd-yyyy.My application doesn't ask the user to enter the particular date.So immediately after the client clicks the save button along with the information he saved the system date also has to enter into his particular database. Can anyone help me how to program this or give an idea regarding the approach to be followed. Any sample code is highly appreciated.Thanks in advance,

well, your application collects user entered info at some place (either in a jsp or a servlet or a handler). At this point you have to generate the sysdate in the specified format.
For example, if its a servlet that collects the user info,
public void doGet(.........){
   //collect all request parameters
   //code from previous post to generate date in specific format
   //call method to insert all data
}You will have to import the library classes as shown below in your program.
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;cheers,
ram.
PS: Also when your sql statement should use some kind of functions to convert the String to a date value for insertion.
For example, in Oracle, you would do this,
insert into test values(to_date('08-24-2005','mm-dd-yyyy'));Here test is a table with one date column.
The to_date() function converts the string, which is the first argument, to a date and conversion pattern is the second argument.
Unfortunately I cant help you with this because Iam not so familiar with mysql.

Converting string to date in mm/dd/yyyy format

Hi,
I used simpledateformat to convert date to "MM/dd/yyyy" format.
Now when i want to insert into db, i want the value as date object instead of string [returned by format method of SimpleDateFormat]
what should i do?
Date dt = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
System.out.println("Formatted date is coming as "+sdf.format(dt));
Date dt1 = sdf.parse(sdf.format(dt);
System.out.println("parsed date is coming as " +dt1);
output :
1 SOP returns 11/07/2007 [current date]
2 SOP returns Wed Nov 07 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 2007

If you are using PreparedStatements setDate method, you need a java.sql.Date object, not a Java.util.Date object. You can create an sql.Date object from a util.Date object as follows:
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(dt.getTime());And, if you are not using PreparedStatement and its setDate method, then change now.
Doing
Date dt1 = sdf.parse(sdf.format(dt));is meaningless. You format the date to string, then parse the string back to a date? Why? Why not just use the original Date object? And you won't get a sql.Date object that way, either, as the DateFormat classes return a util.Date object.
Edit: And for more info:
A Date does not have a format. It is simply a number. The "format" only comes into play when printing the String representation of the Date, and that is not handled by the Date object itself (except when calling toString either explicitly or implicitly).

Convert date in BST to GMT format

            return true;

Object g = date.toGMTString();

You of course read the Javadoc, and so know that the argument to the constructor SimpleDateFormat(String) is the pattern by which you want to parse, and not the string you want to parse itself, right? I mean, you didn't just try one random thing to prove that you gave it a minimal effort before coming back here for more handholding, correct?
Do me a favour and try my suggestion before continuing. I don't know for sure that it will work, but I think it's likely.

Convert XML string into an abap format date and time

Hi,
Does anyone know of a method or a function module in ABAP which converts XML string into an abap format date and time.
Here is a part of the xml that I want to convert.
<ns2:EventDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45+10:00</ns2:EventDateTime>
<ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45.987+10:00</ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>
Currently EventDateTime and EventMessageTransmissionDateTime are type XSDDATETIME_Z and these are converted to proper dates and times. We will be changing these fields to a STRING instead of XSDDATETIME_Z. The reason for this is to make the field more versatile. The customer would be receiving dates with Zulu (2009-09-23T12:00:00Z), with offsets (2009-09-23T12:00:00+10:00/-10:00) and just local timestamp (2009-09-23T12:00:00). With this, we need to make the date fields as string
to be able to accept the various date formats (esp. the local timestamp).
I am looking for a standard function module or method that will convert the xml string to a proper date and time abap format.
Would appreciate anyone's help!
Thanks.
